On my HD, I have a bunch of files that I've generated via Python scripts (or otherwise). When I run "open foo.png" from terminal (or via finder), I get a popup that says
The file “foo.png” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it.
However, via chmod or 'Get Info', I do theoretically have permission to view it. The file is also unlocked, and sudo doesn't solve the problem either. The file isn't corrupt (I can view it elsewhere). I've also played the 'repair permsissions' game.
I've exhausted my google-fu on possible problems. Ideas?

Try to access to the file on the terminal with the root access
Open the Terminal, input "sudo -s" . And, after that, try to open the file.
